Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum. I've just discovered DC since I was
looking for interesting content in PLO and TD. I want to have your thoughts
on this PLO hand that I played on a French site:

Winamax $1000.00 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 3 players - View hand 1749034
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

BTN: $1275.50
Hero (SB): $1426.00
BB: $2509.50

Pre Flop: ($15.00) Hero is SB with J Diamond Q Club K Diamond J Club
BTN raises to $20, Hero raises to $70, 1 fold, BTN calls $50

Flop: ($150.00) 7 Diamond 3 Club 2 Diamond (2 players)
Hero bets $113.00, BTN calls $113

Turn: ($376.00) 6 Spade (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $240.00, Hero calls $240

River: ($856.00) K Spade (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $852.50,Hero ???

Villain is a regular on this site( plo400+). I have no particular read since I'm
new to this site
except the fact that he's min raising a lot of buttons and that he shoved very quickly river.
I think villain is floating a lot on the flop and is gonna bluff a lot on the river.
I'm pretty sure he's not value betting 67 river. King is a great card for me river
since I have one in my hand and it makes it less likely he's got Kings'up...
Is this a automatic call here? I also want your thoughts on the turn ( bet/fold, bet/call, check/raise)

I think this is call esp. If you don't think he is betting 67.

I think you should've bet the turn. Villain is not going to have 54** really at all because there aren't a lot of hands that have 54 in them that would call a 3Bet IMO. I also think that you should bet the turn because if you think he is floating the flop a lot don't give up the initiative when you have pretty good equity against his likely range. If you check and you think he's floating youre giving him what he wants. I'd like a check if you had a hand you wanted to X/R or if you had the nuts and you wanted him to bluff, but this hand is not really strong enough to take two streets of pressure unimproved. This hand is even on the weaker side of bluff catchers.

As played, OTR I'd probably fold. He isn't going to do this with a bluff very often. He can bet smaller OTR and get the same result if you don't have a K, and if you do have a K you're probably not going to fold. IMO here he has two pair or AA**. He might even have a low set if he plays those type of hands from the button.

@ LSGo - Pretty unlikely he has AAxx since he flatted the 3bet pf. Sure it's possible, but I don't think that's a large part of his range at all. If he does have AAxx, why would he bet? There's almost nothing he's getting value from.

@ sweetacaro - I agree villain is likely floating a lot on this board, but I don't think your hand plays well enough on most rivers to check/call. I think you should either check/jam or continue betting turn.

OTR I don't know what villain could expect to get value from with a hand worse than kings up, so I do think he's pretty polarized. wouldn't fault a call tbh

Check-jamming the turn here, the more aggressive and floaty he is, the better. Check-call turn leads to way too many check-decide river spots and a lot of potential mistakes, also somewhat turning your hand face-up, it's a perfect situation for your opponent when you check-call.
